Automated workers don't recognize forest preserves

During the hectic railroad-building phase, I automated three workers with the "Build Trade Network" button. I also had set up a National Park/National Epic city with 5 forest and 9 jungle tiles preserved. Once everything in my borders was railroaded, these three workers went to sleep in my capitol. I didn't pay much attention to them, or my NP/NE city once it was fully developed and running. Then, about 3 turns before my spaceship landed, something I haven't been able to find caused these three workers to start clearing all those preserved jungles. I double-checked my settings, and "leave improvements" was on. Not a big deal in this game, since the win was in the bag, but at the very least, it's annoying as hell to have these workers wake up and destroy my carefully crafted city just because they apparently don't consider forest preserves to be improvements, especially when they were only supposed to build railroads and nothing else.
 
Unfortunately the "build trade network" automation option is broken in BtS. The workers will begin changing any type of existing improvements, not just forest preserves.
